ILLINOIS — An Illinois lottery player is celebrating a $50,000 win following Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing.
The winning numbers for the Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026 drawing were 6, 20, 33, 40 and 48, with the Powerball number 5. The Power Play multiplier was 2x.
While no ticket matched all six numbers to claim the estimated $126 million jackpot, a $50,000 prize-winning ticket was sold in Illinois. A $50,000 prize is awarded to tickets that match four of the five white balls plus the Powerball.
The estimated jackpot for the drawing was $126 million, with a cash value of $58.0 million. Because the jackpot was not hit, the grand prize will roll over to the next drawing and continue to increase.
Illinois Lottery officials have not yet announced where in the state the $50,000 winning ticket was sold or whether it has been claimed. Winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket and contact the Illinois Lottery to begin the claims process.
